- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Inkerman
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you’ll get a clear quote before we start. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about cold air getting in at the frame edge and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
In and around a place like Inkerman, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the quote in Inkerman
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Inkerman may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What window mastic looks like in Inkerman
Inkerman is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Letting a property close to Paisley St James station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Common problems we fix in Inkerman
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Schools such as Castlehead High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In an older home around Inkerman, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
